Romans 2:5

Romans 2:5

3 And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?

4 Or do you despise ^athe riches of His goodness, ^bforbearance, and ^clongsuffering, ^dnot knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

5 But in accordance with your hardness and your¹ impenitent heart ^ayou are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

6 who ^a“will render to each one according to his deeds”:

7 eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality;

8 but to those who are self-seeking and ^ado not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath,

John Wesley's Notes

<< Romans 2:4

Romans 2:6 >>

Treasurest up wrath - Although thou thinkest thou art treasuring up all good things. O what a treasure may a man lay up either way, in this short day of life! To thyself - Not to him whom thou judgest. In the day of wrath, and revelation, and righteous judgment of God - Just opposite to "the goodness and forbearance and longsuffering" of God. When God shall be revealed, then shall also be "revealed" the secrets of men's hearts, Romans 2:16. Forbearance and revelation respect God, and are opposed to each other; longsuffering and righteous judgment respect the sinner; goodness and wrath are words of a more general import.
